Our dedicated team of former senior in‐house legal and compliance officers, Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs), Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and regulators has decades of experience conducting a wide‐range of employee misconduct, including, but not limited to, fraud, sales practice, AML and whistle blowing investigations.
